What:
The Zydepunks tear it up on accordion, fiddle, and drums while singing songs from far away but close to their hearts. Crossing genres with the greatest of ease, their music falls under the category "Cajun Irish Breton French Klezmer Slavic Zydeco Punk."
Inspired by bands like the Pogues, the Ukrainians, and the Clash, the Zydepunks have taken the New Orleans underground music scene by storm with their speedy and amped-up versions of European and Louisiana folk songs.
